One source that Politico was able to use to confirm the comment came from a Twitter post stamped 10:41 a.m. Saturday by a reporter from The Daily Tar Heel. Another Politico reader said he heard the comment at about 10:30 a.m., independently confirming the timeline. Lisa Zagarali, a reporter with McClatchy, wrote in as well, saying, “I taped it. He said it.”
